Dinner by Candlelight

Who says Valentine's Day is just for the two of you? A
celebrated chef cooks up an indulgent dinner that's worth sharing
with friends.

Lots of chefs cook with love, but Suzanne Goin's food
is love. This winter dinner party is a perfect
example. "I wanted comfort foods that were also a little
decadent and indulgent," she says. It's the kind of cooking
that has made her Los Angeles restaurants  Lucques and
A.O.C.  so, well, beloved. For added inspiration, she
channeled romantic dinners she has had at rustic European inns.
The result? A menu worthy of any cooking cupid  and an
unforgettable evening.
